Behind the economic development and growth of the tea export commodities up and down, it turns out there is one fact that less tar-expose the lives of employees and pickers tea plantations.

Poverty Worker
Unfortunately, the management of plantation, the economists, and experts of tea, and the related agencies, even the government only pay attention to the rise and fall of rank Indonesia in the rank of tea exporting countries or in the international arena of tea. They do not sufficient attention on the fate or the lives of the worker, especially the tea pickers. Tea plantation workers as the tea pickers, cultivator (weeding-fertilizing-prunning workers) and the maintainer of tea plant, and tea workers in tea factory, they suffer lack of life facilities even to meet the primary needs.
They earn almost starvation wage, so they are in the circle of poverty. This problem also affected the tea plantation development, because employees and the tea-pickers and the other do not know how to take care of the tea in the sense to enhance productivity. They do the routinous works from time to time unchange.
Estimates, the quality of life of worker and the tea pickers who are below the value of the adequacy of their performance make not to the optimal care for tea. They receive daily wage as much as Rp 20,000, oo. While the cuurent wage in other sector is approximately Rp. 70,000. We all realize, working as tea picker in plantation corporation is counted based on the weight of tea sprout yield they can collect. They pursue the quantity of picking production rather than quality (good or bad work).
This distinguishes the worker as picker of tea leaves. Moreover, the workers in tea plantation or may be in other crops plantation in Indonesia are mostly those who dropped out of school and get to work on plantations without enough expertise of experience,and they work just going along with his/her parents and continuing the foot step of his/her parent.
This is the so called the Poverty Culture. They feel satisfactory when they have been able to continue the same position as their parents.
